Overgrown

My heart and body

Are being choked

By the green overgrowth

I left at home.

I may have been

Pushed away...forced out

By any means necessary,

But the woods took

Back the land.

The wildflowers planted

By my father spread across

The lawn as if to say

He is still there

Somewhere.

I am gone, too,

As Sheena runs in some

Other greenery

Made by God.
